She was a broken crescent hiding in the dark. He was the shadow that taught her how to survive.
Amaris has spent her life outrunning a past that left her fractured. She is a woman of secrets, a "Little Moon" drifting through a world of predators, waiting for the moment she can finally eclipse the trauma of her childhood. She thought she knew the shape of her cage-until she met him.
Slayer lives in the blood and grease of the criminal underworld. To the public, he is a ghost; to his enemies, he is a cold-blooded assassin with a debt to pay. He doesn't believe in redemption, and he doesn't believe in peace. But when he finds Amaris, he sees a reflection of his own jagged edges in her eyes.
As Amaris moves through the phases of her own awakening, she must decide: Is she willing to embrace the "Savage Peace" that comes with loving a man who kills for a living? Or will the ghosts of her past find her before she can finally stand in the light?
In this haunting dance of shadow and light, will love prevail, or will darkness consume all?
Surviving Amaris: Phases of the Moon is a gritty, emotional Dark Mafia Romance. It is the first entry in the Savage Peace collection-stories of resilience, healing, and the jagged edges of moral courage.
